Once in a lifetime, maybe more often...
You meet someone you will never forget.
Some sort of inner bell rings and you know why you believe in destiny.

You may never meet again, but that was enough to fill you with wonder for the rest of your life...

Last night, in my dream, he returned.
The same deep lonely eyes looked into my soul;
Yet, we identify with one another.

Why?
Who is this person who invaded my safety?
Was he a friend from another space and time?
Was he simply someone that I had forgotten from another brief encounter?

His songs haunt me. His eyes compel me to leave my world and step into his forever.
Something is awakened that has been sleeping for too long.

Go away, M. Go away...
